  • It would be kind of cool for figuring out where your friends are at. How cool would it be to be taking a taxi in London, check your phone and see your friends are in a bar just up the street, stop in and join them. sweet.

    I think you can cloak your location if you do not want others to see your location, i.e.. if you are studying for an exam or on a date with someone else! Bad!
